Potential Energy

Teachable by Vittorio Toscano

Stores repair progress as tokens, then releases it as a burst on a Generator.

Generators

Description

"Your arcane abilities have adapted to The Entity's Realm after centuries of wandering, granting you unprecedented control over its many devices."

While repairing a Generator, press the Active Ability button to Store Potential Energy:

  • Repair Charges no longer progress the Generator and are instead converted into Tokens:
    • Gain 1 Token for the equivalent of 1 % Progression, up to a maximum of 10/15/20 Tokens.
  • Failed Repair Skill Checks incur a penalty depending on how many Tokens have been accumulated:
    • Not at Token Limit: Reduces the number of accumulated Tokens by -20 %.
    • At Token Limit: Regresses the Generator by -10 %.

Having accumulated at least 1 Token, press the Active Ability button again on the same or a different Generator to Release Potential Energy:

  • Consumes all accumulated Tokens.
  • Instantly progresses that Generator by +1 % per Token.

Potential Energy deactivates after use or losing a Health State by any means, and will lose all accumulated Tokens in case of the latter.

"When you look a layer deeper, you realise... everything is connected." — Vittorio Toscano
